France is a major power within the [[European Union]],
which could be said to revolve around a Franco-[[German]]
axis. For a variety of reasons, the country has been slow to
adopt new technologies in the course of the 21st century.
Even so, France is a [[Fifth Wave]]
nation and an integral part of the
modern global economy.

French politics have been
chaotic since about 2070, with no
single political party able to maintain
a dominant coalition for long.
French society is controlled by
the local [[Preservationism|Preservationist]] movement,
which emphasizes French
national identity as well as rejection
of [[transhumanism]]. Meanwhile,
a growing moderniste
faction wishes to break France
out of its economic and technological
conservatism. In recent
years the struggle over language
and other social issues has broken
out into frequent protests, some of them violent.

France has a substantial ethnic minority (the Occitans)
in the south, which share linguistic and cultural ties with
the [[Catalonia|Catalans]]. Since the independence of Catalonia from
[[Spain]], the Occitans have tended to build closer ties with
Barcelona than with Paris. Meanwhile, unrest on the island
of Corsica has been an occasional issue for over a century;
protests and calls for independence have been very frequent
in recent years. So far the central government has
refused to consider granting greater autonomy to any of the
outlying regions, much less outright independence.
